I pick up the reel and rod combo and i have to say i love it so far. Its smooth and casts great. When i received it the reel was missing its handle so i called up tackledirect and they had me a new handle sent out with in a few days.

This is the 2 combo I have. The quality of manufacture and materials is above other much more expensive combos. You won't get better for that price.

If I am throwing palm size pinfish bait from the beach, should I use the 5500701 or the 6500 surf series? I would like the combo to not be oversized for some inshore swimbait fishing also. What is the best and most versatile combo here??

Looking for the best setup for some wreck fishing. Anywhere from 60-90 ft. water depth and usually drop 6-8oz sinkers or bucktails/jigs. Would the 4500 suffice or should I be considering the 5500 models?
Ricky

I would recommend using the 5500 size.
